Get used to it, it seems to update all the time.
To improve the launcher from tiâs weakness, it has to be said. Shutting the f* up about it or any weakness wonât help fix it. The launcher doesnât have to wait until the players interact with it to update. It should be able to update automatically when the update is available.
I became inconvenient, it is not clear in what system my character is loaded, you need to enter the game as a character, then go to the character selection menu already in the game, and only then I get the opportunity to see where are my characters account.
Just lost overview settings on some characters, lost all settings on one (chat channels, the lot) honestly this is simple stuff, how a launcher can break the game it launches is beyond me. I even tested the launcher in beta and didnât have this issue. It seems that the release launcher was different to the final beta launcher, whats the point in testing it then?

After a thousand threads and posts on that topic, people are still either too lazy to read or too lazy to look through the launchers options to reactivate the launch to the character selection screenâŚ

If only that were close to being the only or worst thing about the launcher.
A new one - itâs display only, but it shits me.
You create a launcher group. Letâs call it âFriends of Bobâ. you add the character, you get to choose if a character is booted to straight away or if it should go to the character selection screen, all good.
And then you go back to the main launcher page, and thereâs your shiny new launch group. Called âfriends of bobâ.
Thereâs also things like the âclick and holdâ process to launch a specific character requires that you âclick, hold and releaseâ. The fact that the Vanguard icon stored under each account acts differently to every other icon in the same area of the interface. The fact that the launcher self-closes after a period of inactivity (which then seems to stop updates) - oh, and if you try to start it again too quickly at that point, it spawns new instances in memory, but none of them will actually run on screen - so you have to go to the tray area and close each instance before you can actually use the launcher). The launcherâs so slow at checking for updates when you do start it that itâs actually possible to launch at least two clients before it goes âoh, â â â â , updateâ, and then it blocks starting new clients - leaving the unpactched clients it let start still running until you close them down). Etc.
And thatâs just the bugs Iâve found running the new launcher for only two play sessions. Imagine if Iâd actually had say eight hours to run tests and try the thing fully to see what else I could break. Like if I was a QA or test engineer, or even a development team leader for the team responsible, before I agreed to hand it to QA for further testing prior to releaseâŚ
Is there a particular reason the correct platform path separators are not being used?
Everything was working fine until the new launcher. Now I am just staring at the splash screen. I would assume that its downloading something, but eth0 is hasnât budged much from 200 Mbyte since restart 20 minutes ago.
But after you undock you can fly about?
Say that again after CCP updates your boot.ini

What do you mean by âcorrectâ? Windows API has introduced it at some point to accept both forward and backward slashes.

Since the new launcher has been released:-
MacBook Pro (2017) No longer launches ( failed validation check ) gg ok, you hate OSX 10.14, I knew that
Linux ( Pop OS ) New Launcher (hangs on load) ok, linux not supported
Today?
MacBook Air M1. Steam install. This worked last night when I went to bed.
Back to being my own tech support instead of playing eve. 
Just to confirm, the issues youâre encountering (screenshot) are on the MacBook Air M1?
Does the issue persist if you uninstall via Steam and re-install the game?
There are several Linux users, that participated in the early beta, and can be found both in the Linux section of the forums and in the official EVE Online Discord. They may be able to provide you with some guidance regarding getting the launcher/game running under those environments.
On discord: âLinux thread - Here be dragonsâ
Double check graphics options. Not all of them are migrated with launcher profiles migration.

It was introduced WAY before Windows became a thing.
It was in the specs since DOS 3.3 the least I can check.
Totally pissed I had a Venture off Home. With 10million as an Alpha, after the launch upgrade I was in a capsule maybe 30 jumps from home. If I was an Omega I would be suing for compensation, these actions without warning dont make me condusive to pay anything monthly on Omega. Untill I see some worthwhile gameplay on Alpha as a fighter Or A miner because Im not able to collect gas. I will not be paying a penny,
Makes no sense what you just said. Unless you logged off in space, and upon logging in, you were caught, podded and sent to your med clone which sounds like you didnt update it where you currently live
OLD LAUNCHER was very FUNCTIONAL
âTREE PORTRAITS screenâ was VERY HELPFUL.
which personage is in Jita? open Tree Portraits screen and see.
which personage has a lot of $$$$$? open Tree Portraits screen and see.
which personage I logged in recently? that one on the left!
which personage I did not log in for a long time? that one on the right side! please log in and restart planetary extractors!
NOW ALL THAT__ HELPFULL__ THINGS ARE GONE!!!
you release manager is MORAN
Just activate the âThree portraits screenâ in the game client settings where it tell you âLaunch to character selection screenâ. Then use the play button to launch to it.
I really donât know how everyone not getting this or finding it out by trial and error can successfully play EVE anywayâŚif handling of the launcher is already that difficultâŚ
